Effect of horror clips on the physiology of ans & heart

Abstract

The current study deals with the ECG and, HRV parameter analysis to study the physiology of ANS and, the heart by taking data from 20 volunteers under the effect of horror clips. The volunteers had their ECG reading recorded under normal and, horror situations by showing them the same video clips and, at relatively the same time of the day(after dinner hours) to keep uniformity in the readings and, reduce any ambiguity that might be present. Our results showed us that the effect of HRV parameters on the physiology of heart was significant. The time series data and, the time series data using wavelet (db-6 wavelet) didn’t affect the ECG readings of horror much more than that of normal readings of the same subjects. This was also verified by t-test grouping. The results clearly show that HRV parameters affect the horror ECG readings.
